${\large{\bf{\blue{\clubs{\underline{To Find :}}}}}}$

Find the profit percentage.

${\large{\bf{\orange{\clubs{\underline{Formula \: Used :}}}}}}$

${\sf{\pink{Profit = selling \: price - cost \: price }}}$

${\sf{\pink{Profit \: percent = \frac{gain \times 100}{cost \: price} }}}$

${\large{\bf{\green{\clubs{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Let the ratio be 5 and 6 :

${\sf{\purple{Cost \: price = 5}}}$

${\sf{\purple{Selling \: price = 6}}}$

${\sf{\pink{Profit = selling \: price - cost \: price }}}$

${\sf{\purple{Profit = 6 - 5 }}}$

${\sf{\red{\boxed{Profit = 1 }}}}$

Than,

${\sf{\pink{Profit \: percent = \frac{gain \times 100}{cost \: price} }}}$

${\sf{\purple{ = {\cancel \frac{1 \times 100}{5} }}}}$

${\sf{\red{\boxed{Profit \: percent = 20 \: percent}}}}$

So,

${\mathfrak{\orange{The \: profit \: percentage \: is \: 20 \: percent. }}}$
